Nerdy
astronomy geek Marsha, M to her few friends, has never been anybody special.
Orphaned as an infant and reluctantly raised by an overly-strict “aunt,” she’s
not even sure who she is. M’s dream of someday escaping tiny Jewel, Indiana and
making her mark in the world seems impossibly distant until hot new quarterback
Rigel inexplicably befriends her. As Rigel turns his back on fawning
cheerleaders to spend time with M, strange things start to happen: her acne
clears up, her eyesight improves to the point she can ditch her thick glasses,
and when they touch, sparks fly—literally! When M digs for a reason, she
discovers deep secrets that will change her formerly humdrum life forever . . .
and expose her to perils she never dreamed of. Yes, the middle of nowhere just
got a lot more interesting!

"M, wait! I was going to say, especially when
I'm hoping we can be . . . friends."
On that last word, he put a hand on my arm to stop
me—and it definitely worked. When his fingers touched my bare skin, a jolt went
through me like nothing I'd ever experienced before. I spun around to face him,
startled.
I was used to static shocks since I got them all the
time, but this was different. It was more like the surge of adrenaline you get
when you almost fall but catch yourself. Only stronger. And not unpleasant.
More like every cell in my body suddenly sizzled to life.
From the stunned look on Rigel's face, he must have
felt something too. He snatched his hand away like I'd burned him and stared at
me wordlessly for what seemed like minutes. It was almost like he was seeing me
for the first time . . . or like I'd suddenly turned into some kind of freak.
He backed away, slowly shaking his head, then
abruptly turned and ran off without saying another word.
I didn't have a clue what had happened or what I'd
done, but I was pretty sure I'd somehow spoiled everything before it even got
started.
